python logging formater code example

Example 1: python logging to file

import logging
import sys

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s | %(levelname)s | %(message)s', 
                              '%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S')

stdout_handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
stdout_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
stdout_handler.setFormatter(formatter)

file_handler = logging.FileHandler('logs.log')
file_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
file_handler.setFormatter(formatter)

logger.addHandler(file_handler)
logger.addHandler(stdout_handler)

Example 2: testing logging python

# can be done by using unittest's assertLogs

from unittest import TestCase

class MyTest(TestCase):
  
  def test_logs(self):
    with self.assertLogs('foo', level='INFO') as cm:
        logging.getLogger('foo').info('first message')
        logging.getLogger('foo.bar').error('second message')
        self.assertEqual(cm.output, ['INFO:foo:first message',
                                 'ERROR:foo.bar:second message'])
